Manny is using a computer model to investigate the effects of substitution mutations. The model presents Manny with a long base

sequence for a gene. Manny then selects one base for a mutation, such as by substituting cytosine, "C", for adenine, "A".
Manny completes many trials of mutations. In most trials, the result of the substitution mutation is either no effect, or a polypeptide in which one amino acid is altered. In one trial, however, the result is a truncated polypeptide. Many of its terminal amino acids are missing.

What is the most likely explanation for the truncated polypeptide.

A. The substituted base caused a frameshift mutation.
B. The mutation introduced a stop codon in the middle of the gene.
C. The mutation introduced a start codon in the middle of the gene.
D. The substituted base altered the genetic code.

Answer:

The most likely explanation for the truncated polypeptide -due to the substitution of cytosine for adenine- is that mutation introduced a stop codon in the middle of the gene.

Explanation:

A codon consists of three nucleotides -in the RNA chain- whose order determines a specific amino acid. Not all codons code for amino acids, as there are termination codons, also called stop codons, which are UAG, UGA and UAA.

If in Manny's computer model, the substitution of cytosine by adenine produced a termination codon, the synthesis of a peptide is stopped prematurely resulting in a truncated peptide.

DNA plays a major role in heredity, composing the genes that are passed down from parent to offspring. It also plays a major rol
bazaltina [42]

Answer;

B. Proteins.

Explanation;

-Information that is stored in DNA molecules is used to manufacture proteins through the process of transcription and translation.

-During transcription, DNA molecules are used to generate mRNA (messenger RNA), which then undergoes translation in the cytoplasm to generate proteins. These proteins include enzymes that control or regulate and catalyze different biological reactions in the body.

- Additionally, one of the characteristic of protein is being protein in nature which means like proteins they are produced through translation in the ribosomes.

An experiment is a procedure that test a hypothesis by providing data and observations under controlled conditions is this true
NeTakaya

Answer:

true

Explanation:

By experimentating your testing a theory or hypothesis based on certain criteria to see if your theory is correct. By experimentating you record data to back up your claims.

The theory or hypothesis is just your guess of what may or may not happen based on the criteria your wanting to prove.
